Kingdom Builder Generator Pack II

A kingdom full of color and flavor is great, but what's the party to do? Enter the Kingdom Builder II, with generators for people and events just bursting with hooks. Laws, fashions and armies give you a colorful backdrop against which events take place and conspirators plot.

The Kingdom Builder II contains Law, Fashion, Army and Place Name generators from Chaotic Shiny, as well the brand-new Events, Conspirators and Kingdom & Hooks generators and a graphical flag generator.

You can generate complete kingdoms all at once, including the name, ruler, important places, army, fashion, a few laws, recent events, and some notable individuals. Or you can create each aspect separately, generating dozens of events or conspirators or place names at once and picking the ones that fit your kingdom.

The Kingdom Builder II was written in .NET, which means that it will run on Windows XP or newer, plus any Mac or Linux machine that has an emulator for running .NET. (Some features, such as printing, might not work on emulators.)

I got this program recently as I was having trouble with thinking up variety for my kingdoms. I think the best thing about it is you're encouraged to just keep clicking to generate new options and piece things together from there. I highly suggest grab [...]

I like this tool for when I need some additional help fleshing out an area on the fly. It can generate the name of a kingdom (or area or whatever) along with the ruler, names of well known places, recent events, plot hooks, prominent people, and a host [...]

These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format

These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
